These are the only five minute sketches I managed for week 4. Shame on me...
A few quick 1 minute gesture drawings and then a 5 minute study of the same pose.
1 - 2 hour study of a seated man done with Photoshop and a Wacom.
Continuing to work on capturing value and form. Approximately 30 to 90 minutes each with Photoshop and a Wacom.
Quick 1 minute gesture drawings to capture movement and motion and then 5 minute studies to capture value and details.
Absolutely brilliant piece that depicts the age in which we live. A reminder that the most effective and powerful solutions are often the simplest. Originally viewed at Drawn.
A quick 5 minute sketch emphasizing movement and the force of gravity on the body.
Portrait of a random face found in Google Images.
Approximately 3 hours with Photoshop and a Wacom.
Fantastic video put together by KreativMagazin on what a time constraint does to creativity. I really enjoy the fact that playfulness and fun are mentioned as these are some of the main reasons why we got into art in the first place. Originally viewed at Drawn.
A quick 40 minute painting focusing on values.
Awhile back, I was asked to paint a mural for my cousin. The painting was to be based off of a popular book about a little brown bear who wears a floppy red hat. As I began to flesh out the idea and draw various sketches, I realized that it had been quite some time since I had painted anything traditionally. Not wanting to use my cousin's walls as a guinea pig, I thought I would use my own. More specifically, my son's.
A continuation of my previous perspective work. Not really sure where this is going, but we'll see what happens.
